How did your trees do?

Gardening Editor Kathy Huber, who lives in the Garden Oaks neighborhood, said her gardens look like “tossed salad” after Hurricane Ike. She and her neighbors, spent much of Sunday clearing their yards, setting plants right and sawing downed limbs into manageable pieces.

The majority of trees that survived in her area: Live oaks, magnolias and bald cypress. One that was an obvious loser: the Bradford pear.
